Good moderate weather jacket

Bryan in MI

Comments On Mar 29, 2015:I'm a dual sport rider and have used this jacket on multiple outings. I like the fact that it rolls into it's own pouch and you can wear it around your waist. I often carry this jacket in that fashion. The jacket does a good job keeping the water off you and the cold out. It's a bit light weight, so a good late spring, summer, early fall jacket. Not meant for those cold days. Size isn't too bad. Cannot fit elbow pads on inside the jacket, but no problem with an underjersey roost protector. I would like another pocket or two, but it's a good jacket for the $$$.

Dual Sport/Woods Riding Jacket

Eric in OR

Comments On Mar 25, 2015:Bought this jacket for some of the colder weather we have in the Pacific NW. So far I have been very please. Being able to fold this jacket up into its own built in pocket has been awesome. Usually its chilli in the mornings so the jacket works well, then late AM the vents get opened up and by noon It gets rolled up and strapped to the bike. Good quality jacket.
Only down side for me is if I'm riding some single track and working the bike its a little warm even with all the vents open.
Dual sport/forest roads I've been very pleased.

Great all weater jacket

Bill in Tennessee

Comments On Feb 05, 2015:This is a very good jacket for UTV ATV riding and is a very good value. I am now wearing my second of these jackets and looking to purchase my third. I also have the Backcountry pants I am 6'3" and the pants are short for me.

Not for Taller riders

Dane in California

Comments On Dec 26, 2014:I am about 6'3" and 200 pounds. My gf ordered me a large and it was way too small. The chest just barely fit but the sleeves were way way too short. With my arms extended the sleeves rode almost up to my elbows. So she called rmatv and they sent out an xl. The sleeves are still too short but the chest is way to big, I am a big guy and I was floating in it. The size pattern is modeled off shorter men with big guts I guess. This jacket will not work for me. It appeared to be a quality jacket but the sizing is strange and I can't see it ever fitting a taller rider correctly. RMATV's costumer service has been top notch as always though.

excellent value for commuting

Harry in Florida

Comments On Dec 31, 2014:I have been riding in this jacket for a few weeks now. I found it to vent very well, and was comfortable in the Florida heat. However I just recently got the chance to test it in the rain, and found it lacking. In light to moderate rain 20 miles at highway speeds, the jacket leaks through at the armpits. For commuting duties where the trips are short the jacket is fine, but I will need to find another jacket for long distance travel.

Excellent for the price

Mark in TX

Comments On Dec 12, 2014:The jacket is excellent for the price. It works well with my Leatte neck brace. Keeps me warm when the temps are below 40. I like the vent zippers as the temps can change in TX by 20 degrees between morning and afternoon. The jacket is made very rugged and seems like it will hold up to cross country riding very well.

Great for the price

MELVIN in CA

Comments On Oct 01, 2014:This is a thick and stiff material that works good for off road brushy trail rides as weel as a dual sport jacket. It dosent have padding so I purchased one size larger so I could were my under armor. Overall I am pleased with the performance with no rips or tears after some extreem trail rides

Nice Riding Jacket

Craig in MN

Comments On Aug 31, 2014:I just received this jacket and wore it riding today. The coat is a little on the small size as stated but ordering 1 size larger seemed perfect for ATV riding. It has plenty of vents and features at a great price. It appears t the manufacturer must have changed the design of the jacket because the tag says it has zip off sleeves and I thought it did but they definitely don't come off. It appears Rocky Mountain just mentions vents in the description these days. The tag just needs to be updated. So far it appears to be a good product for the price. Hopefully it lasts.

ARC Jacket

DVXC in Arizona

Comments On Aug 06, 2014:This is an excellent product. Sometimes the main zipper is a tad difficult to get started and its a very tight fit to get the jacket folded up and stuffed into the fanny pack (which is a great feature). Aside from those 2 minor issues, I have worn this jacket from Baja rides to Idaho and Colorado and everywhere in between. Waterproof, warm windproof, durable and well constructed. 5+ stars for me.

BRENT in UT

Comments On Jun 05, 2014:Yes you may need to sew on a little Velcro or do a few small things, but for the price you just can't beat it. I ride all year, the coldest I've ridden in was 5 degrees. Around town I stayed warm, I did stop at 5 degrees just because it snapped my speedo cable.

Good for the price

Waylon in MA

Comments On Apr 15, 2014:Fits really big in the chest/torso area and kind of long but tight in the arms and shoulders. Elbow pads are tricky to use and a chest protector with shoulder pads isn't going to fit unless your order a very big size. I bought this jacket for everyday use on a dualsport and it keeps me dry in the rain as well as cool on the hotter days.

Great Jacket

andy in CA

Comments On Apr 08, 2014:The first trip I took this jacket on was Baja. It kept me warm in the chilly morning through the Pine Forest yet kept me cool down through the desert. The vents do a great job and you have lots of mobility. Honestly I bought THIS jacket because of the price but I'm very glad I did.

Size Matters

Scott in CA

Comments On Feb 19, 2014:Great jacket made with quality materials at good price. Jacket and matching pants seem to run a bit small so buy with this in mind. I had to return for a larger size, which was easy with Rocky Mountain. This geat is good stuff.

Best deal, hands down

Jeramy in WA

Comments On Feb 11, 2014:Bought these with the pants and they have been amazing. Kept me dry, maintained pretty good warmth for just a shell, and didn't break the bank. If you want to impress your friends, buy Klim. If you want to impress your accountant, but ARC.
To be fair, I did experience some minor zipper issues as other have said. Once that was resolved it works fine. You just have to play with it a bit until you find the sweet spot. Other than that, these are great for the trails in Western Washington.

Review of 2012 version of the ARC Jacket

MATT in WA

Comments On Jan 12, 2014:I bought this jacket in 2012 and wear it a few times a year when the weather is really bad or if I'm riding with my son (he's 9) and we are tooling around at low speeds and I'm not pushing hard.
For example, I took my son riding last weekend and it was 26 degrees and damp (Pacific Northwest winter where damp and 26 is like 15 and dry) when we started. We rode about 20 miles of mostly 1st/2nd gear stuff. This jacket is perfect for that type of ride because it gave my core enough protection that I didn't get cold. I always wear it w/o sleeves because I wear the Thor Impact rig and the elbow pads are too bulky for under the sleeves of this jacket.
Good jacket. Nice fitment. Almost too warm for most cases. When my friends and I ride hard and fast, this jacket is way too warm to wear, even if it's in the 20's. I can't count the time I've had to throw it into my Camelbak 5 miles into a fast ride.
I see the 2014 version has added features like the ability to adapt to a neck brace. For $80, I just might buy another one and give this one for a friend.
Good value!

Michael in TX

Comments On Jan 07, 2014:Wore the jacket for a cross country race last weekend with the temps in the mid 20's and 20mph winds. I was warm enough to stay loose but never got so hot that I wanted to take it off in a 90 minute race. Good quality item that looks like it's gonna hold up. Great jacket for the money.

Very Nice jacket

Mike in NC

Comments On Jan 01, 2014:This jacket is very warm, blocks the wind, and has kept me dry in light rain. I started using it as my daily jacket for non-biking and am constantly delighted with how warm it is.
It is far better than most of the much more expensive "outdoor store" name brands that I've owned.
The tail is extra long in back.
Lots of easy to use vents to open as the temperature climbs as you ride.
Very satisfied.

Andrei in NSW

Comments On Nov 21, 2013:Initially I thought I'll get some cheap equipment. But that was not the case.
The jacket fits me perfect with enough space for my body armor. Vents are more than enough. It also allows me to wear the neck brace, so now I don't have to buy a new one when the neck brace arrives.

Awesome Shell

Jeff in CO

Comments On Sep 25, 2013:This jacket makes an awesome shell. Was out in Jefferson, CO last weekend in the pouring rain. Wore my jersey and a light weight fleece under this jacket and didn't have a drop of water inside. It was about 42 F and the jacket alone wouldn't have kept me warm, but it makes an excellent shell for $80. Great buy and will continue to be a customer. The only issue I have is the lack of reflective gear. I like the black color, but at night with black pants and a black jacket on a black bike I become a ninja. A little something reflective\high viz would be nice.

Awesome at what it is

Nathan in UT

Comments On Jul 19, 2013:This is a pretty good jacket. It sheds water in a short drizzle, but I did get wet through it on a 30 mile commute in the rain. It keeps me warm down into the 50s, cooler with a sweater under it, and it breathes reasonably well, but not amazing, over 100 degrees. Basically, considering it is less than a third the cost of most of the other options I am perfectly ok with its few shortcomings and am glad I bought it for my commute. However, if I were touring long distance, or headed off for Alaska or Baja I would go ahead and spend the three times more on something that is actually waterproof and more breathable.

It seems to be well made with nice pockets and vents. Im glad I purchased this jacket. I used it on a 30 mile woods ride in the snow and mud it kept me warm and dry.

Hard pressed to find better for the money

Stephen in UT

Comments On Jan 25, 2013:First of all, i struggle with anyone who knocks a product because they got the wrong size. Clothing is always going to be a little quirky with its own sizing, but once you figure that out, this is an amazing jacket for the price. It does run a little small. I usually get a XL but went with a XXL for this product. Quality is top mark, lots of pockets and the cut/design is very thoughtful and comfortable for riding. Wind proof, waterproof, and exactly what I was hoping for at a price that I would have expected.
Very impressed!

Jacket sizing is small

Mike McMahon in Oregon

Comments On Dec 27, 2012:I just got this jacket for Xmas and the sizing is way small. I wear X-large in all kinds of cycle gear and this is the first time I've had a problem. The sleeves are way too tight for my elbow guards to fit in there and the chest is too tight for my chest protector to fit underneath. I thought it was odd that the sizing went from X-large to XXX-large with no XX-large in between. Maybe now I know why.
I also got the pants at the sme time and they fit perfect, very happy with the fit. I haven't taken them out for a ride yet but they look sturdy enough.
